“…1 SAW based sensors and microfluidics have recently been intensively 3 reported for a variety of applications in biological, chemical, and medical engineering. [2][3][4][5] So far, Rayleigh SAWs are the most commonly used wave mode in SAW based microfluidics, which are composed of longitudinal and vertically polarized displacement components, thus they are strongly coupled into the liquid media located on their propagation paths. Therefore, they have been extensively applied to generate microfluidic functions, including mixing, pumping, ejection, nebulization and jetting.…”
